In few days returned to my home;5
but. thought made all possible effort
neither saw nor heard more of Mrs.
Malon.
A year later, passing through Al
bany on my way West, decided at the
last moment to stop over day or two
with my friend.
Passing out of the depot to secure a
carriage, | was detained by the crowd,
and so overheard part of q converse
ton between two forlorn-looking
women. Was it curiosity, or was it
my good angel prompted me to turn
and question them?'
.'Yis, ma'am, its dead she is the
night, and fine lady she was if liver
one was born.
"What was her name?"
Mallory, ma am, I'm thinking, re-
piled the first speaker. '.Niyer Nal
Tory" said the other. '.but something
that had the sounding of it y
"Will you take me to see her?" /
asked, with a strange tremor at my
heart.
The two women exchanged glances.
perhaps she was some relation of
yours" said one.
No; but perhaps it may prove an
old friend" 1 replied.
The women again looked wise, but
willingly agreed to take ME where the
dead body lay.
"What was her disease?" I inquired,
beginning to feel trihe uneasy, as we
turned into narrow filthy street.
1T wasn't the sickness at all, at all,
to me thinking, it was the throuble,
and the want of the bite and sup that
q dilicate crature like herself naded.
We're but poor folks, ma am, and its
nothing but poor victuals we have, but
we did the best we could for the poor
thing, indade, ma am, we did, but it
wasn't what she was used to, and it
was ag'inst her. "
My voluble guides continued their
story of the poor lady's sufferings till
they stopped before a miserable tene-
ment, with the remark: This is the
place, ma'am."
followed them up flight of rick
ETY. stairs into room that humble
friends had tried to make decent.
There, on board, the ends resting
on two wooden chairs, and covered
with a coarse sheet, lay the remains of
whom?
With painfully beating heart l APP
preached the figure, while an aged
crone, mumbling a prayer, turned
aside the sheet There / saw what 1
more than expected to. see-all that
was mortal of the wife of Judge
Malon; a few faded, common flowers
clasped in the delicate hands, and her
shroud the striped percale.
There, dead of want and suffering,
lay the beautiful and accomplished
Mrs. Malon, once the pride of friends,
the idol of society, in miserable ten
ement, surrounded by want and
Indebtedness, the only ones to per-
form the last sad offices for the dying
and dead, the humblest and poorest of
Gods creatures.
AS bent over her, with eyes blind
ed by scalding tears, my brain seemed
a vast chamber, through which these
words were echoing:

APPLE.TREE INN.
From tho German of Irh1and


From tho German of INLAND.
When in the country, and would dine,
OF the hest inns know the sign;
a golden apple swings in the breeze,
inviting me there to rest at ease.
Under the good old apple-tree-
There is the joliest inn for me,
The kindest host and the daintiest food,
The sweetest drink and all that's good.
And under that roof Of brightest green
Many light-winged guests are seen;
They dance and they sing for very bliss,
AS If the world were made only for this.
And there may find the softest bed,
And the easiest pillow for wearied head
BY the landlords self is this bed of mine made
And he covers me over with coolest of shade.
And when I ask what I have to pay,
He shakes his head in a curious way,
How quickly he knows poor poet like me-
In that inn freely welcome-the apple-tree.

WELL-LiGHTED BARNS.
The Infiuence OF Light on the Health
and Condition o. LIVE Stock.

The Influence OF Light the Health
and Condition o. livestock.
Here and there we see an old-style
barn, built by our grandfathers. the
only window being single row of
panes over the large door. Through
this comes all of the light admitted to
the barn, except what comes through
tie open cracks between the boards.
When Il barn of this kind is filed with
hay it is comfortably warm, but very
dark; by midWinter the hay, being
half consumed, leaves the walls unpro-
tected. With the light come in also
the cold wintry winds to chill the cat
tie. Our fathers built some barns
warmer, covering the walls with
shingles or the cracks with narrow
battens. The light being thus shut
out, it was necessary to have windows,
SO they put in just enough to enable
them to see to feed their cattle. It
was left for our generation to build
barns that are tight, comfortable and
well lighted. But even at present
many farmers do not realize the im-
portance of light in & cattle barn.
Experiments show that herd of mich
cows not only keep in better health
and condition by having plenty of
light, but they give more milk. Every
barn should be provided with plenti-
full light and sunshine on the side
where the cattle stand. The practice,
which is far too prevalent, Of keeping
cows in dark and damp basement is
not a good one. They can not have
the sunshine and pure air so necessary
for good health. Windows that are
exposed may be protected for a trihing
sum by covering them with wire net
ting. The day of windowless barns.
has passed, but some of our new barns
would be improved by few more win
dows. american 4gricu1tasrist.
The Dear Ones Gone Before
Could we but feel that our lost ones are near
We in our darkness and they in their

Could we but feel that they see us and hear us,

sufficient Importance to vegetables.

Pistols and Politics.

The warlike words with which some of
the New Orleans editors are assailing each
other may lead to pistols. The indications
he fought out with pen and ink There are
three parties involved all of whom have
had more or less experience with pistols at
ten PAGES, and all have regulations for the
sort of courage that is required for affairs
of that sort.
The trouble began with publication in
the New Orleans PicCyuno about the suit
begun by the Attorney General Of Louis
lana against the American Cotton Oil Trust
Company. That Journal published brief
sub-editorial approving the suit, and on the
following day an editorial appeared in its
columns condemning it. 1t was explained
that the first article appeared without the
editors knowledge.
An afternoon paper, the States, took
occasion to criticise the course of the Pea
yltne rather harshly. A good deal of blood
curdlng language followed in each journal
1t is said, and perhaps truthfully, that as
these Eo journals represent the opposing
factions Of the Democratic party in Louisi-
ana, this war of words over the Cotton Oil
Trust suit simply indicates that there is
going to be a hot fight for the political CON
troll of the State. The PicaBme represents
the reform clement, of which Senator Glib
son is leader, and the States the faction
which now has control of the city and State.
A Governor is to he elected OF the next cleo
ton, and Il Legislature that will have the
choosing Of two United States Senators.
This being the condition of affairs, and the
fight having been opened so early and in
so dramatic fashion, it may reasonably be
expected that the newspaper editors of New
Orleans will furnish the people OF that city
considerable entertainment during the long
and hot summer

And she would have her own sweet way,
AS her merry eyes grew brighter;
So she took hold, and he took hold,
And made the burden lighter.
And every day the oa!len pail
Over the well-curb slipping,
Was upward drawn by hands of Drawn,
Cool, and so softly dripping.
And every day the burden seemed
Lighter by being divided;
For he took hold, and she took hold,
By the self-same spirit guided
Till by and by they learned to love
And each trust in the other,
Till she for him. one twilight dim,

The wedding bells were rung at morn,
The bridal blessings given,
And now the pair, without a care,
Entered an earthly heaven.
When storm and sunshine mingled, they
Would seldom trouble borrow,
And when it came, they met the same
With bright hope of tomorrow.
And now they're at the eve of life
While the western skies grow brighter,
For she took hold and he took hold,
And it made the burden lighter
